Well, you might find the Wes Hawes (conman, AREXX) assembler. The latest version
on bix is very nearly 100% compatible according to commentary there. (Charlie
Heath now likes it.) Then if you manage to get BLINK you're also in for a
treat. it is MUCH faster than ALINK. The current freeware version does not
support overlays, though. The version that will be with Lattice C 4.0 will.
